Hippocrates - Î¤he Father of Medicine. Hippocrates was born around 460 BC on the island of Kos, Greece. He became known as the founder of medicine and was regarded as the greatest physician of his time. He based his medical practice on observations and on the study of the human body. He held the belief that illness had a physical and a rational explanation.
Pre-eminent among them was Pierre Fauchard (1678-1761), who is widely acclaimed as the 'Father of Modern Dentistry'. He was concerned by the ignorance of many of his colleagues, and deplored the selfishness of the more able among them who jealously guarded the secrets of their clinical techniques.
